If I’m being completely honest, Japan was a place I had dreamed about.

But Kamakura specifically? That wasn’t on my radar.

When most people picture Japan, they think of Tokyo: neon lights, Shibuya crossings, endless stimulation. But Kamakura couldn’t be more different and it quickly became a city we fell in love with.

This is a candid, lived-in look at what it’s actually like to do Boundless Life in Kamakura as a family.

The beauty. The adjustment. The cultural differences.

And who this location is (and isn’t) for.
